BREVARD COLLEGE BLANKED BY BELMONT ABBEY 4-0

Belmont, N.C. – The Brevard College women’s soccer was back in action on Monday afternoon, as the Tornados lost on the road to the Crusaders of Belmont Abbey 4-0 in non-conference action at Alumni Field in Belmont, N.C.

With the loss the Tornados fall to 4-7 on the year, while the Crusaders, who unbeaten in their last 21 matches, improve to 7-0-2 with the win.

Four Belmont Abbey players scored goals as the Crusaders controlled the match for most of the 90 minutes of play, outshooting the Tornados 21-0 and holding a 7-0 advantage in corner kicks.

The Crusaders first goal came in the 23rd minute of the first half, as Nicole Voets sent a pass down the center of the field to Connie Axiotis, who got behind the defense and beat BC freshman goalkeeper Jordan Box for the goal.

Shortly before intermission, the Crusaders made it 2-0 on a combination from Amanda Maddock to Celene Molera. Maddock sent a pass from the right flank to the left goalpost, where Molera headed home the pass for her team-leading eighth goal of the year.
